Applications (academic year 2016/2017)
The SAHC Erasmus Mundus Masters Course starts in early September and finishes in late July every academic year. The opportunities to apply are grouped into three calls, as follows:
1st Call:
The first call is opened to all students. Partner Country students can apply for a Partner Country scholarship (formerly known as Category A scholarship) while non-eligible students for a Partner Country scholarship can apply for a Programme Country scholarship (formerly known as Category B scholarship).
Applications must be submitted no later than January 15, 2016. Every elegible application submitted to the SAHC Master programme within this deadline is automatically considered also as an application to a Partner Country or Programme Country scholarship, depending on the nationality of the applicant.
All applicants are notified about admission during the first week of March. Afterwards, the selected students for an Erasmus+ scholarship are notified about their selection by the Consortium by March 2016. The formal confirmation of the scholarships is given to students after the approval of the Erasmus+ scholarships by the European Commission.
2nd Call:
The second call is opened to all students.
The deadline of the 2nd call is due by May 20, 2016. All applications submitted within this deadline are automatically considered also as applications to a Consortium scholarship. Please note that students which have applied during the 1st call can also be considered within the 2nd call if they inform the Consortium about it.
All applicants are notified about admission during May. Afterwards, the selected students for a Consortium Scholarship are notified by June 2016. Any possible remaining Consortium Scholarship will be made available for the third call.
3rd Call:
This last call is also opened to all students. The deadline of the 3rd and last call is due by July 20, 2016. However, scholarships will be offered only if the Consortium scholarships available during the 2nd call were not fully allocated. Applicants which have applied during the 1st and 2nd calls and did not receive a Consortium scholarship can also be considered within this call provided that the Consortium is informed about it.
APPLICATIONS for the 2016/2017 academic year are now open.
